My husband, Phil, was 58 when he was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's. He has a Master degree in Instruction; taught Math for 30 years. Then, one day, he couldn't find his classroom; spent 16 weeks teaching a group of college students how to use a calculator, before anyone told us what was happening. I was his caregiver for 8 years prior to his health deteriorating to the point we needed Hospice care.

I used to be a high functioning person. I had a high IQ, I went to law school at night while running a real estate joint venture between a regional developer and a regional financial institution and I still graduated in the top 25% if my class. I became a transactional real estate attorney working for companies that owned and/or leased real estate as part of their core business. A few years ago it started taking me longer to get my work done, I was less organized and had piles of paper on my desk. I got fired from 2 companies within 3 years.
